Our Organization
Re-defined was started in January 2022. It was created with the primary objective of fostering inclusivity and recognizing diversity. Re-defined hopes to target students/people from marginalized communities and non-traditional backgrounds.
We hope to help individuals no matter what their race, nationality, gender, socioeconomic status, educational background, etc to be able to re-define themselves, and their capabilities and set their own expectations. Thus aspire to empower people to take autonomy and have confidence in their capabilities and passions.
Redefined recognizes that we live and work on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish Nations.
Our Vision
To provide skills and mentorship to students from marginalized communities that prepare them for the real world.
